Part 954: Noire A

Hey-ho... Oomph! Ungh... This crate's... so heavy...

Noire?!

I-I've got it! Unnngh... Totally got... Uh-oh, no I don't-! Waaaaaaaaaargh!

...Whew, I'm still standing. But I was tipping backwar-

Are you alright, Noire?!

Gerome? Did you save me?

Oh, wow. Y-you did, didn't you?! Oh gee, that's kind of... Ungh...

Look out!

Whoops! Sorry! Guess I'm still a little light headed there.

You must stop pushing yourself so hard! You can barely walk from exhaustion!

Yeah, but I didn't think it would be so hard to move a couple of crates. ...Sorry you had to rescue me.

You always push hardest when you think no one is around.

...Yeah, maybe. Look, I'll try to be more careful, all right?

Next time, ask for help. It benefits no one if you injure yourself.

Yeash, I know, I know... I'm sorry.

...Apologies if I spoke harshly. I'm only concerned for your well-being.

Oh, it's all right. ...Besides, I should apologize for calling you creepy earlier. I knid of meant it at the time, but I don't anymore.

Well, I suppose I might have come across strangely, just standing there...

Great! Glad that's settled! Now I've I've got some crates to move! You can stay and help if you want. Just to make sure I don't... overdo it?

Of course.

Hee hee! Thanks, Gerome!
